Outdoor movie night: ‘Mary Poppins’ at the Camden Amphitheatre July 25 | PenBay Pilot Outdoor movie night: ‘Mary Poppins’ at the Camden Amphitheatre July 25 Posted: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 - 11:15am Event Location: Monday, July 25, 2016 - 8:15pm Share: CAMDEN — The Monday Movie in the Camden Amphitheatre for July 25 will be Mary Poppins, (1964, 2 hrs 19 min), beginning at 8:15 pm. The movie series is free, hosted by the Camden Public Library. Bring blankets or chairs for comfortable seating. Mary Poppins is perhaps the most beloved of all Disney films. Julie Andrews is Mary Poppins, a magical and loving woman who descends from the clouds in response to the Banks children's advertisement for a nanny.

She is not only firm in her use of authority, but gentle and kind as well — a major departure from the original books, in which the character was strict and pompous. Dick Van Dyke is Bert, a cockney jack-of-all-trades and Mary Poppins's closest friend, who is completely accustomed to her magic. Their playful interactions imply that they have known each other for a long time, and that this kind of story has repeated itself many times. Bert has at least four jobs throughout the film: a one-man band, a pavement chalk artist, a chimney sweep and a kite seller. The theme for the movie series this summer is Books to Movies.

It's not great at all. Stick with the movie. The connection is tenuous at best, and features none of the wit, themes, or hhornblower LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Being a huge fan of the Disney movie, I figured I had to read the book. I quite enjoyed it, but I must say the Ms. Poppins comes off as much more stern in the book, but then Julie Andrews just doesn't have a stern bone in her body. ctpress LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Mary Poppin's eyes were fixed upon him, and Michael suddenly discovered that you could not look at Mary Poppins and disobey her.

There was something strange and extraordinary about her - something eglinton LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Mary Poppins is a very familiar figure, of course, so it's nice to find that the book instantly achieves a tone of cheerful and charming whimsy, uncovering the fun that must always have thrived at KatieCaughron LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Summary: This is a story about a magical nanny who is hired to take care of four children. She is very stern and the children are little trouble makers. The children notice she is magical and become satyridae LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Audio version. Maybe it was the narrator. Maybe it was that I waited too long to read this again. I don't know what it was, but I found it alternately silly and boring. Meh. jlapac LibraryThing LibraryThing Review I had started reading this book awhile back, but my son wasn't interested, so I didn't finish it. Before I sent it off for donation, I decided to read it again and really enjoyed it. The Disney capiam1234 LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Such a fun read. Even though the movie had differences both versions are a delight and kids of all ages, grown ups too, will enjoy both equally.

liz.mabry LibraryThing LibraryThing Review I always forget just how creepy Mary Poppins is compared to the movie. I love the movie too, but it's not surprising that P.L. Travers was pissed off at Walt Disney for changing the character completely. ImperfectCJ LibraryThing LibraryThing Review This was a weird one. I don't think my kids or I really got it. The kids seemed to like it okay up until Michael and Jane went to the zoo. It was around that point that I asked them how they were Heather.C LibraryThing LibraryThing Review The characters are not likeable, least of all Mary Poppins. The chapters read as a set of disconnected stories with very random things occurring with no real reason. Most irritatingly, there are stephxsu LibraryThing LibraryThing Review I quite enjoyed this, which surprised me, considering how disconcerting I found the movie when I was younger, and how rude and vain of a person Mary Poppins is here. But for me, this book reminded me AliceaP LibraryThing LibraryThing Review I hate to spoil your image of Mary Poppins but...well, I'm going to spoil your image of Mary Poppins. The version that P.L.

Travers created was very different from the one Disney dreamed up. She was a Xleptodactylous LibraryThing LibraryThing Review "Something strange and wonderful had happened at Number Seventeen, Cherry Tree Lane." Mary Poppins arrives at No. 17 Cherry Tree Lane, the house of the Banks', from out of nowhere just as their old Erika.D LibraryThing LibraryThing Review I only recently discovered that the Disney version of Mary Poppins was based on this book series by P.L. Travers. I loved the Disney version & have watched it a million times, reading the book was catfantastic LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Mary Poppins - so, like most people I am familiar with the 1964 Disney movie staring Julie Andrews. I have loved that film since I was little, but never read the original book the movie was based on Stahl-Ricco LibraryThing LibraryThing Review A whimsical, wonderful read that is so imaginative and original, I barely recognized it from the Disney version - and for the better! There are so many differences, it hardly seems worth mentioning kittyjay LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Like most children of my age, I grew up with Mary Poppins the movie.

Recent interest (and intrigue) regarding the animosity between P.L. Travers and Walt Disney - most recently turned into a lurid Cheryl_in_CC_NV LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Enchanting. Mary Poppins is vain, stern, and odd - I do not like her. But she enables the children to have so much magic and joy, and since Travers writes with such grace, the book is very entertaining. Rosenstern LibraryThing LibraryThing Review The classic tale about the nanny who could do it all. Mary Poppins, appears to be a children's novel but surprised me. Travers' writing style was great. Worth the read. jrsearcher LibraryThing LibraryThing Review These are great stories. My dislike of them is not just Mary Poppins' denial of events that have happened, but the angry, bitchy way she does it! leandrod LibraryThing LibraryThing Review If one can say such things about a fantasy, the main character is much more realistic than the sugary Disney version. tjsjohanna LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Mary Poppins in Travers' book is more wild than the Disney version, but appealing all the same.

She is something outside the normal world and wins the hearts of her charges by the magic of being near her. kaulsu LibraryThing LibraryThing Review The book is "darker" than the movie was, yet it allows children to express their fears of abandonment and hopes for a better future. Some of the mysterious conundrums children are faced with in their Robert Larson Goodreads Review: Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins #1) Having recently learned of PL Travers disapproval of the film adaption of her novel, I took it upon myself to read the source material, followed by a bio of the author. The book paints Mary Poppins as ... jlange4 LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Despite Travers' Mary lacking the cheery optimism of her Disney counterpart, the original story is full of moments of wonder, from traveling around the world, to a trip to the zoo where the humans are loross LibraryThing LibraryThing Review The children's love and affection for Mary Poppins is really displayed at a deeper level in this story, because you get to experience how much they missed her once she was gone!

I liked reading this bostonian71 LibraryThing LibraryThing Review Very odd -- there is some of the whimsy I remember from the movie, but Mary Poppins is rather self-absorbed and often unpleasant. It'll be interesting to see if any of the follow-ups are in the same vein. hcurrey LibraryThing LibraryThing Review This book would be an engaging read-aloud, perhaps if one were studying Victorian (Edwardian?) England. There are many opportunities for quality connections, predictions, inferences, and also lots of mirikayla LibraryThing LibraryThing Review I couldn't remember until about halfway through whether I'd already read this one or not (I didn't think to check Goodreads, but it turns out I had). Some of the stories I didn't remember at all, and Mary Poppins News | Photos | Quotes | Wiki - UPI.com Latest Headlines Collections Quotes Wiki Mary Poppins News Next Wiki Mary Poppins is a series of children's books written by P.L. Travers and originally illustrated by Mary Shepard. The books centre on a mysterious, vain and acerbic magical English nanny, Mary Poppins.

She is blown by the East wind to Number Seventeen Cherry Tree Lane, London and into the Banks' household to care for their children. Encounters with chimney sweeps, shopkeepers and various adventures follow until Mary Poppins abruptly leaves, i.e., 'pops-out'. The adventures take place over a total of eight books. However, only the first three books feature Mary Poppins arriving and leaving. The later five books recount previously unrecorded adventures from her original three visits. As P.L. Travers explains in her introduction to Mary Poppins in the Park, 'She cannot forever arrive and depart.' The books were adapted in 1964 into a musical Disney film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. In 2004, Disney Theatrical produced a stage musical adaptation in the West End theatre. The stage musical was transferred to Broadway in 2006. It is still running there to this day, to sold out crowds. It has been highly successful, as was the classic 1964 film. The first book introduces the Banks family, consisting of Mr. Banks and Mrs. Banks and their children Jane, Michael, and baby twins John and Barbara.

When the children's nanny, Katie Nana, storms out in a huff, Mary Poppins arrives at their home, complete with her traveling carpetbag, blown in by a very strong wind. She accepts the job, and the children soon learn that their nanny, though she is stern, vain, and almost always cross, has a magical touch that makes her wonderful. Among the things Jane and Michael experience are a tea party on a ceiling with Mr. Wigg, a trip around the world with a compass, the purchase of gingerbread stars from the extremely old Mrs. Corry, a meeting with the Bird Woman, a birthday party at the zoo among the animals, and a Christmas shopping trip with a star named Maia from the Pleiades cluster of the Taurus constellation. In the end, Mary Poppins is satisfied with the work she has done with the Banks family, and the West Wind carries her away. This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License .

Quotes 10 great films based on classic children’s books | BFI Home / Explore film & TV / Latest from the BFI / BFI news, features and opinion / Lists 10 great films based on classic children’s books A good book at bedtime captures the imagination of young children, but it’s not easy to reproduce the magic on screen. As the classic 1931 version of Emil and the Detectives comes out on DVD, here are 10 more films that pulled the rabbit out of the hat. Emil and the Detectives is available now on DVD. Berlin, 1931. In one part of town, Peter Lorre ’s child-killer Hans Beckert is stalking the streets, preying on children who get separated from the crowd. In another, only a shade less menacing, young Emil is arriving on a train from the provinces, divested of the money his mother gave him by the boiled-sweet-offering stranger sitting across from him in the carriage.

These two early German sound films – Fritz Lang’s M and Gerhard Lamprecht’s Emil and the Detectives (both 1931) – portray a bustling metropolis where ne’er-do-wells lurk to ensnare or defraud the unsuspecting. But where Lang’s film condemns police, underworld and public alike in its vision of a morally corrupt society seeking a scapegoat, the boy hero of Lamprecht’s film triumphs over wrongdoing, marshalling a people’s army of pint-sized waifs and strays to help catch the thief. Erich Kästner ’s 1929 source novel, illustrated by Walter Trier , differs from other landmarks of children’s literature in offering no wonderlands, wonderful wizards or enchanted wardrobes. Instead, it takes place in a very real Berlin, where the sights and sounds of the modern city provide peril and excitement enough for its impressionable young adventurer. 10 to try Each of the recommendations included here is available to view in the UK.

Full of the dynamic visual prowess of the German cinema of the time, Lamprecht’s adaptation – from a screenplay by the young Billy Wilder and an uncredited Emeric Pressburger – adroitly captures the sense of the city in all its bewildering density and movement. Admirably unsentimental as a kid’s film, it doubles as a valuable street-level snapshot of the German capital in the immediate pre-Nazi years and as one of cinema’s most perfect transpositions of a children’s bedtime classic to the screen. To celebrate its release on DVD (which also includes a rare 1935 British film of the story as an extra feature), settle in for 10 more timeless big-screen versions of vintage children’s novels. The Wizard of Oz (1939) Director Victor Fleming The Wizard of Oz (1939) Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer’s wife. Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum (1900) With this unassuming ‘Open Sesame’ begins L.

Frank Baum ’s 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , the story of a bored young girl in farmland America who’s whisked off to the magical land of Oz during a cyclone. Theatre and early cinema versions of Baum’s story began to appear soon after publication, with Sam Raimi the most recent director to tackle the story, in Oz the Great and Powerful (2013). But MGM’s 1939 musical version is definitive, almost eclipsing its literary source with its dazzling Technicolor versions of the Yellow Brick Road, the Emerald City, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Dorothy’s affable companions, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. Judy Garland stole hearts the world over as a gingham-dressed Dorothy dreaming of somewhere over the rainbow. Five on a Treasure Island (1957) Director Gerald Landau Five on a Treasure Island (1957) ‘Mum, have you decided about our summer holidays yet?’ said Julian, at the breakfast-table. ‘Can we go to Polseath as usual?’ ‘I’m afraid not,’ said his mother.

‘They’re full up this year.’ The three children looked at one another in great disappointment. They loved the house at Polseath, and the beach was perfect for swimming. – Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton (1942) As every Enid Blyton -reading child knows, Julian and his two siblings, Dick and Anne, settle for a holiday at their Uncle Quentin’s instead, where – in company with their tomboy cousin George and her dog Timmy – the ‘Famous Five’ become embroiled in the hunt for treasure around Kirrin Island. In the late 50s, kids returned week after week to catch up with the Five’s adventure in this matinee serial from the Children’s Film Foundation . Directed by Gerald Landau , it charmingly captures the spirit of Blyton’s original. For any child who thrills to the idea of treasure maps, shipwrecks and ruined castles, these eight episodes of hijinks and derring-do remain manna from heaven.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Director Henry Levin Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) On 24 May 1863, which was a Sunday, my uncle, Professor Lidenbrock, came rushing back towards his little house, No, 19 Königstrasse, one of the oldest streets in the old quarter of Hamburg. – Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne (1864) The French bristle at the idea of the novels of Jules Verne being classified as children’s literature, but in the English-speaking world abridged editions of his best-known works have long been book-at-bedtime staples. In the opening pages of Journey to the Centre of the Earth , Professor Lidenbrock hurries home to examine his latest purchase: an Icelandic manuscript containing an ancient code describing a route into the interior of our planet via a dormant volcano.

This 1959 film produced by 20th Century Fox is the best of several movie versions, with James Mason on good, gruff form as Lidenbrock, superbly realised production design of the phosphorescence-lit bowels of the earth, and some delightful dinosaur effects. Swiss Family Robinson (1960) Director Ken Annakin Swiss Family Robinson (1960) For many days we had been tempest-tossed. Six times had the darkness closed over a wild and terrific scene, and returning light as often brought but renewed distress, for the raging storm increased in fury until the seventh day all hope was lost. – The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss (1812) Modelled on Daniel Defoe ’s 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe, Johann David Wyss ’s The Swiss Family Robinson expanded its castaway count to include an entire family stranded on an island in the East Indies after their ship is sunk during a tempest.

Walt Disney’s 1960 adaptation takes a number of liberties with the original, but only accentuates the appeal with wonderfully elaborate treehouses, booby traps and the addition of a gang of pirates to imperil the family’s idyllic island homestead. John Mills features as the resourceful patriarch, alongside a colourful menagerie of exotic animal stars. Mary Poppins (1964) Director Robert Stevenson Mary Poppins (1964) If you want to find Cherry Tree Lane all you have to do is ask the Policeman at the crossroads. He will push his helmet slightly to one side, scratch his head thoughtfully, and then he will point his huge white-gloved finger and say: “First to your right, second to your left, sharp right again, and you’re there. Good morning.” – Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers (1934) It’s to number 17, Cherry Tree Lane, London – the home of the Banks family – that umbrella-borne nanny Mary Poppins is blown on an easterly wind in the first of P.L. Travers ’s beloved series of novels of children.

Some sort of casting pixie dust was at work when Julie Andrews was turned down for the part of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady (1964), freeing her up to play Poppins in the 1964 Disney musical version, for which she won an Oscar for best actress. She made the role her own, administering a spoonful of sugar to the wide-eyed Banks children, tying their tongues around the lyrics of ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ and insta-tidying their nursery with a magical snap of her fingers. Robert Stevenson ’s film is an evergreen high point in the Disney family film tradition. The Railway Children (1970) Director Lionel Jeffries The Railway Children (1970) They were not railway children to begin with. I don’t suppose they had ever thought of railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook’s, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud’s. – The Railway Children by E.

Nesbit (1906) But railway children they became when the Waterbury family are forced to move from London to a railside home in the Yorkshire Dales after their father is imprisoned for espionage. E. Nesbit ’s story appeared in serialised form in The London Magazine during 1905 before being published as a novel in 1906. It inspired a rare note-perfect cinematic adaptation in 1970 at the hands of actor Lionel Jeffries , making his directorial debut. Jenny Agutter plays Roberta, the eldest of the three siblings, who pass the time in their new rural setting by observing the comings and goings of steam trains and making friends with the kindly station porter ( Bernard Cribbins ). Though the story risks appearing quaint to modern viewers, few can deny the charm with which Jeffries pulled off this dramatisation. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) Director Mel Stuart Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) These two very old people are the father and mother of Mr Bucket. Their names are Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine. And these two very old people are the father and mother of Mrs Bucket.

Their names are Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina. – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl (1964) The opening lines of Roald Dahl ’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory come accompanied with fabulous spindly line-drawings by illustrator Quentin Blake , so any filmmaker approaching this 1964 fantasy should do so carefully: child readers already know exactly what Dahl’s bewitchingly eccentric cast of characters should look like. Dahl himself wasn’t a fan of the 1971 musical version , starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, the enigmatic chocolatier who grants a factory tour to the lucky kids who find golden tickets in their Wonka bars. But generations have delighted in the film’s actualisation of Wonka’s crazy factory, with its chocolate rivers, candy trees and the hoards of orange-skinned Oompa-Loompas who man the production lines. Tim Burton brought his own pitch-black sensibility to the tale in 2004, with Johnny Depp as Wonka. For many, however, fond memories of the Wilder film were difficult to supplant.

Alice (1988) Director Jan Svankmajer Alice (1988) Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice, ‘without pictures or conversations?’ – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865) When Alice spots and then follows the White Rabbit in Jan Svankmajer ’s 1988 version of the Lewis Carroll novel, it isn’t on a riverbank. Instead, in her playroom, a stuffed rabbit in a display case suddenly jitters into motion, disgorges itself of some of its sawdust filling, breaks out of its glass confinement and is soon disappearing at pace across a muddy field, with Alice in intrigued pursuit. The spirit, if not the letter, of Carroll is brilliantly reimagined by Svankmajer for a grotesque, child-unfriendly masterpiece that combines a live-action performance by young Kristyna Kohoutova with a toy shop’s worth of dolls and stuffed toys brought to eerie stop-motion life.

The Czech animator moves Carroll’s original away from the fairy tale mode preferred by most of the many other film adaptations, into the surreal, genuinely unsettling realm of a waking dream. As a voiceover counsels during the opening credits: “Close your eyes or you won’t see anything.” A Little Princess (1995) Director Alfonso Cuarón A Little Princess (1995) Once on a dark winter’s day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night, an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares. – A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1905) From a Southern Gothic spin on Dickens’s Great Expectations (1998) to one of the most acclaimed entries in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón clearly has an affinity for child-centred adventure.

Despite its comparatively meagre commercial success, his often sublime English-language debut, A Little Princess , still stands as one of his best films. Frances Hodgson Burnett ’s turn-of-the-20th-century novel is the story of a young rich girl, Sara, who’s sent back from India to be schooled in London, later to find that her royal treatment seeps away in favour of cruelty and bullying when she’s left suddenly penniless. Transposing the action from London to New York, Cuarón gives the story a ravishing, magical realist treatment, bathing the screen in an amber, doll’s-house glow.

As Janet Maslin wrote in The New York Times: “To see Sara whirling ecstatically in her attic room on a snowy night, exulting in the feelings summoned by an evocative sight in a nearby window, is to know just how stirringly lovely a children’s film can be.” Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) Director Hayao Miyazaki Howl's Moving Castle (2004) Credit: © 2004 Nibariki - GNDDDT In the land of Ingary, where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three. Everyone knows you are the one who will fail first, and worst, if the three of you set out to seek your fortunes. – Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (1986) Conjured from the imagination of British author Diana Wynne Jones , the kingdom of Ingary is one of the more beguiling fantasy worlds in modern children’s literature. In the quaint old-world town of Market Chipping, Sophie, the eldest of three, has few prospects until a chance encounter with the enigmatic wizard Howl.

Turned into an elderly woman by the spiteful Wicked Witch of the Waste, Sophie travels to seek help from Howl in lifting the curse. Wynne Jones’s flights of fancy met their perfect cinematic match in 2004 when Hayao Miyazaki ( Spirited Away , 2001) marshalled the boundless invention of his Studio Ghibli to breathe animated life into this land of commonplace magic and enchantment. Among the film’s many memorable creations is Howl’s castle itself, which Miyazaki reimagines as a towering, spoke-spewing rust bucket on legs, rumbling and wheezing through the valleys. "Behind-the-Scenes Feud over Mary Poppins Now a Movie; Aussie Author Fought Walt Disney Tooth and Nail over Portrayal" - The Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Australia), April 13, 2012 | Online Research Library: Questia Read preview Article excerpt THE fractious relationship between Walt Disney and PL Travers, the author who created Mary Poppins but despised Hollywood's saccharine portrayal of her magical nanny, will be dramatised in a new film starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson.

Although the 1964 musical film starring Julie Andrews has charmed generations of children, Pamela Travers, the Australian-born writer who died in London aged 96, vowed never again to let American producers get their hands on her prized creation. Travers, born Helen Lyndon Goff, wrote Mary Poppins, which became an immediate success and spawned several sequels, in 1934, ten years after sailing to England. Disney spent 14 years wooing PL Travers for the rights to her story, which was inspired by her own, emotionally deprived upbringing in Queensland. Her father, an alcoholic, failed bank manager, died young, leaving the family destitute. Travers's Poppins was a vain, haughty disciplinarian blown by the East Wind into the Banks household at 17 Cherry Tree Lane. … Subscribe to Questia and enjoy: Full access to this article and over 10 million more from academic journals, magazines, and newspapers Over 83,000 books Access to powerful writing and research tools Article details
